Team Beliefs

Dethorn's trusted team believes deeply in "leading by example"– not just "talking the talk." Simply put – they live by the leader's commitment they so passionately share with their consumers, teams, and the world. They know that leadership development is the synergist that produces the competitive edge for a thriving and sustainable organization. We hold firmly to the idea that every organization has a unique fingerprint that gives them the capacity to excel in their industry, exceeding what they can comprehend. When an organization taps into that unique fingerprint by understanding its mission and purpose with absolute clarity, they believe that focusing on what is in their control, valuing people, and making these principles non-negotiable. This organizational culture prioritizes and encourages leadership.
